Curious as to how the force out call was decided. The side judge threw his hat signaling that the receiver stepped out. I doubt is was his assertion that the Nebraska player was forced out. however, 4 officials then gathered and the determination was made that he was forced out by the MSU defender Edmonson. It looked on TV like on official ( not the side judge) was doing all the talking and decision making on this call. That all said, making the officials accountable/ available to the media after the game would likely go along way toward seeing better judgements by said officials during the game.
